Hey guys,

Whilst on the hunt for a Tamora (my first TVR), I thought I'd ask if there were any parts that people thought were worth either replacing like for like or upgrading in a way of preventative maintenance. Things like upgrading the 100amp fuse to a 125 or changing certain sensors before they fail? Many thanks!

I have heard of people swapping the 100A fuse for a 125A but would not recommend it. A fuse is there to blow if the current is too great and prevent damage to other more costly components. However, I am toying with the idea of having the 100A fuse on my T350 moved from under the airbox to somewher on the inner wing, just to make access and/or replacement easier. HTH

For what it is worth I would suggest that if you are not having any strange electrical behaviour, or the fuse blowing then leave it alone. Mine never went in 4.5 years of ownership. I checked and replaced it after this time as a preventative measure, but to be honest it looked fine. Just make sure you carry a spare fuse and fuse holder in case of problems (not expensive).

wasn't the 125 fuse a legit TVR upgrade towards the end, something they recommended? or have i got that totally wrong?!
